Co-curricular Activities
DOSTI believes in the holistic development of each and every child in order to maximize the potential of the child. Therefore, besides studies, it has many events throughout the year which form the core part of its curriculum. Among these, the primary ones are:
ART AND CRAFT
“Children are naturally creative. It is our job to give them the freedom, materials and space to let their creativity blossom to its full potential.” (Jean Van’t Hul) Keeping this in mind, DOSTI has always given priority to art and craft not as a subject but as an overall grooming and personality development program for our children. Art and craft not only helps to improve fine motor skills but also enhances creativity skills, communication skills and the ability to think out of the box. Further, it helps children develop team spirit as they work together and socialize with each other, which in turn develops their self-esteem and confidence.
MUSIC (INDIAN & WESTERN)
Indian and Western music plays a pivotal role in the overall development of our children. Hence, these music classes occupy an important place in their timetable. With music, our children learn and develop patience, persistence, team spirit, and self-expression, and it also helps in developing their cognitive, emotional, and motor skills. Over the years, our children have developed a good sense of rhythm and tune and have formed a choir, too, which, integrated with our junior and senior choir, gives wonderful stage performances from time to time and wins applause for DOSTI.
DANCE
Dance helps our children in improving their physical strength, flexibility, and stamina. With that, it also increases their hand-eye coordination, self-esteem, and confidence, which in turn makes them happy and stress-free. Our children's dance performances are really praiseworthy and appreciable.
YOGA
Yoga is beneficial for a healthy life, as it takes care of the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of a human being. Hence, we make sure that each and every child in DOSTI is benefitted by yoga classes. Our children, with regular practice of yoga, are able to perform many asanas easily, and they have even won prizes inside and outside the school in yoga competitions. One of our alumni, Sahil Singh, now assists our yoga teacher.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTAL CLUB
Our children are also being taught and trained with different types of musical instruments like guitar, drums, bongo, and synthesizer, so that they specialize in them and can also make it their profession in future.
SPORTS
Sports have always played a very important role in the overall development—especially personality-building—of children, including children with special needs. Keeping this view in mind, DOSTI makes special and extra efforts to train and specialize our children in various types of sports like skating, boccia, shot put, athletics, and swimming, to name a few. Our children are even trained for Special Olympics and other state and national-level sports events. Hence, sports occupy an important place in our daily curriculum.
